Western Fair Raceway Race 3

1609M

Prize Money: $6,111

FEAR THE SHADOW (9) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Flamboro Downs. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. HES GOT SWAGGER (5) went well to finish second two starts ago then registered a commanding victory last start, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. ASHLEYSBEST (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. TORETTO (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
